Go inside

Before you can get too far into the door, the girl with blue hair stops. She turns around and extends her hand out. “I’m Maise,” she offers.

You take her hand and shake it, telling her your name too. Her smile flattens and little as she thinks of what to say next. “We have lots of new items, as well as new variants for some of the older ones.”

Just as you open the second set of doors, you are greeted by a modern looking lobby with a front desk. There are two more people there, more women, all dolled-up with their hair done and make up finished. It seems you’ve walked in during a conversation, because they’re not smiling when they first see you. One of them looks kinda familiar, but since she doesn’t say anything, you figure that she just has one of “those” faces. The room has nice black tiles, white walls, and some plastic ferns guarding the back wall. On the right are double doors, they’re black too. On the left is a single black door with a metal plate pinned to it with. “Store” is what the plate reads.

“Right this way, sir.” Maise guides to the door on the left. It opens without a noise. The room on the other side is a wide, well-lit room. There are no windows in here, but you didn't expect there to be any.

Maise shows you some of the product, running her fingers along the leather and straps, telling you about what you could do with each of the items. She seems fairly happy when talking about it, as well as well-experienced on both the receiving and giving end of whatever item she’s talking about. At the very least, she knows what she is talking about. She grabs a collar and holds both ends, giving it a good tug while she’s explaining that everything here is durable and made to last. Nothing here is going to break any time soon!

She hands one side of the leash over. “Here, tug on it.” You knit your brows at her, but she just shakes the leather end. You take the leather tip and grip it firmly. You pull on it, making her stumble a little closer to you. Now that she’s this close, you notice that there’s a sweet smell emitting from her too.

Staying professional however, she makes no kind of advancement. In fact, you’re sure she’s just trying to sell you the products here. “The inside of all of our collars are padded - assuring that your partner won’t have any discomfort...Unless you really want them to.” She says, with a slight smirk.

Suddenly, she takes the collars and puts it around her neck. She pokes her chin up. You see her swallow slightly as she adjusts the strap. You’re still holding on to the leash as she shows you some of the different features and adjustments you can make. She notices your stare and clears her throat, she takes off the collar and hands it over.

“Sorry, that was kinda weird, wasn’t it?” She gives a dry laugh and steps away. “It’s been a little boring this morning, and my week has been extremely frustrating.”

Maise shakes her head and stretches. “But, hopefully I can make yours a little better, right? That’s why I’m here!!”

“Well, thanks - I appreciate the gesture.” You reply, placing the lease and the collar away. Her blue eyes trace your movements.

“I mentioned that there was a sale going on. But, I could probably offer you a used discount for some of the items here too, you know?” Maise comments, stepping closer and picking up the collar again. “I don’t like it when people leave unsatisfied here, and you seem like someone I’d like to make sure leaves happy.”

“Some of these items have been used before? That’s kinda disgusting.” Your face twists and your comment makes Maise giggle.

“No! They haven’t, not yet at least.” When you turn around, she’s no more than an inch away from you. “It’s just the two of us in here right now and everyone should be at work. Would you like a used-discount?”

“Are you seducing me?”

She blinks. “No, I’m just offering.”

You look down at the collar and the toys around you. Your mind racks and your exhale. Maise is beautiful, and this wouldn’t be your first time cheating on Delilah since you’ve arrived…But does that really make it all that right?
